PROVIDENCE, R.I.  The Rhode Island State Police said in an advisory that Route 95 in the Atwells Avenue area  exits 21 to 23 north and south in Providence  is experiencing flooding.

The state police issued the advisory shortly before 10:30 a.m on their Twitter account, saying take it slow out there today.

It is an area where water typically builds up and the state police have the state Department of Transportation check storm drains.

As of now, that has been the only significant flooding issue for state police. They will be keeping en eye on areas such as Route 10, where it meets Union Avenue  a location that is apparently not a big concern at the moment but holds potential for flooding.
